I think the decision to only post pictures of John is helping reddit. Its funny, the pictures are great, its drama-full and happening on reddit. Sorry I wish it wasn’t but I think this is good for reddit.
I kinda agree, as funny as this is.
Now if anyone ACTUALLY wants to not help Reddit, upload a gig or 5 of just noise just playing in a video and cause the site to crash: apparantly some folks on Twitter are doing so, with instructions
I would prefer a peaceful revolution, no need to DDOS them. I prefer to take the moral high ground and let the community figure out for itself how much they care about the content they produce, and which platform is most appropriate to retain control. There might always be a place for Reddit, but if they want draconian control let it be over data they produce.
Fair enough. I can respect your opinion even tho I don’t necessarily agree that a peaceful revolution is the way to go here (to be clear, I’m not saying that peaceful protests aren’t effective and don’t have thier place, they absolutely do. I just personally don’t think people like Spez or Musk will listen to one. They seem to be the type that need to be sat down and made to listen)
Although who knows…some people are commenting here that this is going to drive value for Reddit down if it keeps going, and if that’s the case, I’d say “keep painting Reddit John Oliver”…but the point is to not stop until this is no longer something that’ll just “blow over”.
It’s a novelty. And yes it will generate a surge, but it is not a substantial value over time and will depreciate Reddit on the long run.
Yes and no. It’s driving traffic but it also denies companies the ability to post their content in related subs and – once the initial amusement dies down – will probably result in lower utilization.
